Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

Okay, you've explained desperate Tories voting against principles to cling to power. I understand that.

What about the 10 votes she paid £1bn for?

In a coalition of the left I’m pretty sure there would be a good chance likes of the SNP, Plaid, Green, would be making demands on Labour.

What was the alternative with the Tories being largest party at the last election? It was on them to try and form a government.

A billion quid. Sounds like a lot but in gvmt terms it isn’t really. And it’s not like the DUP intend pissing it up the wall. They intend on spending it to the betterment of NI, and I for one don’t begrudge them seeing as they effectively fought a civil war over there for over 30 years.
 
All a bit absurd, isn't it? Half her own party voting against her Brexit proposals, showing they quite clearly don't trust her to implement Brexit...but also somehow cool for her to continue on as leader. Pretty much in deadlock.

To piss the hardcore Brexiteers off she should just go full-on soft Brexit, stay in the single market and customs union. Wind em up if nothing else.
She literally is the turd that won't flush.

Good lord you lot really are (wilfully?) naive about the DUP.

Catch a grip.

Ian Paisley, founder of the DUP was one of the reasons the place went to the complete dogs in the first place.

I read catch the grippe* instead of grip and thought that it was a bit harsh.

Fascinating how the Tory MP's would vote against Brexit but not vote in favour of putting their jobs at risk. Fascinating. Didn't see that one coming.

Ok DUP deal:

£50m Mental Health over 5 years
£100m Health & Education over 2 years
£100m “Severe Deprivation” over 5 years
£150m Broadband infrastructure over 2 years
£200m Health over 2 years
£400m General Infrastructure over 2 years.

What’s not to like?

Any $$$$ is welcome to the public purse from a Tory government that have tried to kill as many public services as possible over the past number of years... Will we ever see the fruits of the promised £1b? Let's wait and see....

I was more so pointing out your comment about the DUP fighting a civil war for 30 years

Wow that's a load of nonsense. The DUP have zero and I repeat zero interest in doing anything for the better of Northern Ireland. Their whole strategy is to keep their supporters in constant fear they will lose everything. They are not going to suddenly start throwing money around making their lives better
 
As a distant observer the feeling I get is that the current impasse can not be broken and thus the UK will just crawl itself to and dully fall from the edge of the no deal cliff. Is this a correct assessment?

I can only see a no Brexit end to all of this and hopefully any future government will never again let people vote for something they know nothing about

No my comment about the “civil war” wasnt aimed at blaming any faction for it but was hinting at the negative economic effects of the troubles and I was concluding that the DUP’s deal (irrespective of political allegiances) can only be a good thing for NI.

Who can single handedly cancel Brexit ? Surely the only thing that can happen by inaction is no deal. That's how A50 is supposed to work.

No confidence = election and new Tory leader, and none of them want the job right now because they know the situation is fecked.

Just wait until after the deadline and we'll see the weasels like Johnson and JRM scurry about demanding another vote of no confidence.

It can be cancelled and most likely will as Noone will ever get their version through and there is very little support for a no deal .

I’ve come up with the hard figures promised by HM Government. What have you got?

So what are the DUP going to do with their billion quid then? Spend it all on propaganda?

I'm absolutely sure the creationist, anti abortionist, sectarian, former terrorist, hard right bible literalists of the DUP will use that money to the betterment of NI.

Is it still a promise or it has been budgeted?

I imagine even they are worried though that the Tories would tear themselves apart when picking a new leader and that you'd see an eventual election.

But it's the parliament that has the authority to cancel it , unless I am mistaken and the PM can do it as well however that appears extremely unlikely to me. And if it's the people 's representatives that are the only ones to do it, then it would appear to be defying 'the will of the people' if they do it without a second referendum.
 
She's absolutely useless. Sick to death from this incompetent fool.
 
Just seen May's speech and, basically, she can go feck herself.

By having some sort of position over Brexit in the last 12 months Corbyn came up with nothing and continues to do so .
Ok so he says he suports the deal, he gets ripped to shreds.

He says he wants a peoples vote, he gets ripped to shreds.

He says he is ok with no deal, he gets ripped to shreds.

Yes, he can make a stand, but which ever way he turns he gets torn apart and regardless of what he says the papers will attack him anyway.

Oh I'm sure a certain few areas of Northern Ireland will see some of the money at work .

Like the DUP are doing as Northern Ireland voted to stay yet they are pushing for it
 
People given a yes or no decision over something with so many complexities, what could possibly go wrong?

The country is in a right mess with incompetent political leaders across the political spectrum. The public just aren’t knowledgable enough to decide on an issue such as this. People are also ignoring the crimes Vote Leave committed which are currently under investigation and all the hatred Brexit has created giving rise to racist groups.

A complete and utter shitstorm. It needs a political genius to get us out of this mess and reunite the country. Don’t see that person anywhere.
